quotePit opens when someone hits the button, or after 2 minutes of a 3 minute fight. Better driving next time./quote
Except that I was active for less than a minute in both fights, and no-one pushed the button. Still I wont complain - its better to have driven and not done well than not to have driven at all.
I blame Arthur, he told me if someone hit the button or not :)
Mr Stu

Is there anyone who has either put up a event report for Newark or is in the process to have one written up...? (just wanting to know out of interest)
Chris - http://www.featherweights.org/forum
Nice one guys,
An excellent event, plenty of action both in the arena and outside. Sians football match looked like fun (although far too energetic for us more mature roboteers) We just spent our time avoiding Mario and Kanes water cannons!
Saw some very good fights, questionable judges descisions (Arthur, were did you leave the white stick and the guide dog!! :)) Not to mention some very high quality pyrotecnics from Thor (Hope it didnt prove too expensive! :sad: )
A big well done to the RR crew and not forgetting Kevin who worked damn hard to make it all happen.
Definatly one for next year!!
Great day out for me and a great first win for leveler2 well done Dave mac and Dave young
i just have one complaint the normal one the white board some bots getting 5 or 6 fights and some not getting even 2 if you dont get your name down the board is full and the same bots are in fight after fight right thats my moan but still a great time
To everyone, thanks for a great weekend. It was fantastic. It was nice to see some old faces as well as some new ones.
Did it rain? I didnt notice.
Stu, I still hurt! You are going to get so so so licked the next time we meet.
Mike and the Dantomkia team.
Chris; Report from teammad should be up by this time tomoz.

Mr Stu
GREAT EVENT !!!
though extremely cold during the night, lotsa fun during the day ! Hope to see you all next time ! And thanx to the organisers for having us foreigners :)
I need a bigger watergun.
Apperantly the Mutual Assured Wetting idea didnt work in this case.
Who has some pictures of the whole thing?
Mario - the water gun was fine even though the water came out like lemonade. Thank heavens I wasnt on the receiving end of it. Anyway we all got more wet from the rain on Saturday than from each other.
Im still trying to fixed the jammed super soaker ready for any battle that might take place at the world champs.
Yer it was a great event.
Did the tornado team run the teslacoil in the end?
I really wanted to see that going.
Oh and Dave, dont worry, the party wasnt that amazing, but the bouncy castle was, hehe.
I did have planned some petrol powered water guns, but i didnt have time to get them running, oh well.

It was a great event.
Will be there next year. Better Robot, Better me.

na the Tesla coil didnt run
Triggy
Oooh hes coming to us like the Terminator !!! was something Mario heard from the fleeing masses. Ah well, the other Flemish and Dutchmen (with the exception of WJ but he is a special case anyway...) stayed dry and cozy in the beertent while the rest of the crowd was either trying to outrun a very efficient Kane-Mario-team or trying to get their baberques started in the downpour. Dont know what hit them harder: the heavenly buckets or the KM-teams wettinators.
The event itself was great, efficient people all around as usual, but I dont know what that poor girl in bikinis was doing in the pits on Sunday. Man, she must have frozen to death that poor kitty ! And no kind gentlemen offering their coats ! Shame on you !!
Match Report:
Tilly AFC vs Windy Wonders FC
It was a glorius evening at the Newark showground even the rain couldnt spoil the event. The two captains lined up the, Mighty Mini Shane and the Sian the trig Phillips, took there picks and the sides were drawn.
both sides got off to an explosive start and quickly the scores were 3-1 to the Windy wonders, so the mighty Tilly AFC desided to bring in number one goal keeper Paul Gibbo the mighty Gibb which helped there cause to no evale as soon its was 4-2 and the sheer brilliant captain Shane Tilly took an injury to his mighty little finger and both him and Craig the cannon Danby had to leave the field of play, with the injury departure of what be came clear the 2 best players on the pitch the fantastic Tilly AFC went 9-3 down to the lax and un impressive Windy Wonders.
the mighy Gibb soon gave way to second choice goalie telsa man Dave gamble which some what explained the score line, then the long awaited return of captain Shane and the Cannon brought a turn around. with the score at 9-3 it was time Tilly AFC turned on the charm and blagged there way back into the match.
Cannon Craig Danby took his time in goal and became top shot stopper with that and the combination of killer crosses from Mr Kenny himself and Ian DTKs better than Dantomkia and mighty runs from dutch wonder WJ whos anti-gravity passes soon turned the tide of defeat to a tsunami of victory with capt trig letting in 12 goals to get the score to 15-9 and a glorius display from Tilly AFC
final score
the amzingly brilliant superstar footballers that are Tilly AFC 15
the unimpressive boring windy wonders 9

Take a look in a few days, there will be more to come!
Ive had a great time, even though the robot broke down the first day and nobody seemed to have a spare bosh. Too bad there where lots of burned out electronics and motors.

I think I might have recorded that, but it will take one or two days before I can get it online.
Has anyone found a Robotwars baseballcap? Ive lost mine at Newark somewhere.
Kenny, we have the fight on vid, will keep trying to upload it, if not can use video player to put it on net.
Dave
it wasnt me keeping score dear triggy twas young Daniel Lambsy Lockhart was 6-2 when me and shane got back and I think youll find Daniel is in school no blame on me thank you either way we won thats 2 years running my lot ave won get in Tilly AFC this year the windy wonders next year we could even beat watford!!!
Thanks for all the compliments :)
Ive only just recovered enough to check this thread and am honored with the remarks.
It was you guys and gals (not me) who made it such a fun weekend. In fact, I spend a lot of time feeling like a boring old fxrt! - but I didnt get stressed this time :) (in spite of some admisistrative hasstles :sad: )
Overall it was very sucessful and Ive already booked a little more sunshine for next year.
Thanks of course to Jonno and the RR crew who did all the real work.
Im sad to admit that there were several guests from this forum that I did not get to meet :sad: please accept my apologies.
The only critism I recieved has been the lack of visibility on how you are doing in the running for trophies. Next time we will get a sheet up that shows how many times youve been in the arena and how your score is building.
Regards to you all :)
Kevin S.
I liked the footy alot :) trying to dodge the onslaughts from Ian (ewe 2) and Tim (stinger) was a bit difficult at times, but still good fun :)
You roboteering british should try to do a bit more sports, would do you good :)
WJ,
There was only one....ermmmmm......dodgy tackle that I can remember. The grass was wet and I slid in a bit hard. I had the regen braking turned off on my boots!!!
Pleased to see your team do well last night on TV though. Sending the Germans home in Euro 2004. Not a tear was shed in the UK!
Ian
(Ian there are some German Teams that do Robot Wars you know, LOL - easy tiger)
Mr Stu
In the company euro 2004 poule I have England and holland planned for the final, so it would be nice to see it end like that !
And no hard feelings bout the tackle, Ian, I know it wasnt on purpose, and I can take a little hammering no prob (used to it, actually...)
rematch at the robotwars world championships in august ?
Oh WJ, were you impressed with my moon walking talking? I think i might start selling the idea across. I thought it worked really well myself, i could walk and talk, and be MJ.
(I liked your MJ moves btw)
My pictures of the event are on http://users.pandora.be/P3/Newark/http://users.pandora.be/P3/Newark/ with apologies for the bad quality (cheap camera and no money to buy a really good one).
Many thanks for a great event, most enjoyable.
The football match was certainly good fun, not convinced by your final score Craig, but I think you just stole the win towards the end.
Meral and I would like to thank everyone for their contribution towards the collection for our wedding. We were both very touched as it came as a complete suprise to us. We will pick something out that will be very helpful to us in our new house (assuming we ever complete the purchase!!)
Thank you to everyone for a truly memorable weekend and we look forward to seeing you all again after the wedding.
Meral and Tim

Grant-PloughBot-Team Rc Wars
Congratulations Grant,
You have found a new spelling of my name that I have not come across before.
No its not an invitation to try!!
Grant is special like that.
He once spelt Christmas without getting a single letter right.....
:)
May I ask how?
Did i? i think your getting me mixed up with james there lol.
There is no desk in this room so its hard to type correctly when your in a rush. Thats my excuse :).
The cat also tends to like jumping all over the key board, but only when your typing. And JB knows that, coz they do it to him when hes here, (an he has an allergy to cats) hehe.
Grant-PloughBot-Team Rc Wars
Yeah, every time I fall asleep I wake up with some hairy damn cat on my face..... if you have ever seen Alien youll know what I mean.
The hobbie kerhismus joke is from Bottom if anyone is a rick and eddy fan, but typing in the cooper household is never easy for some reason.
well Grant, the next time when your cat does the alien thing on James, take a piccy of it, then we can all have a laff! *chuckles wif the image*...
oi, watch it Audrey, youll have nightmares.... :)
did see you at Newark btw, but thought it best not to say hi, you looked scared enough as it was :)
